Australian Regional Food Guide

Paperback | Second Edition 2005 | New Holland Publishers (Australia) |
Food industry and trade – Australia – Directories | ISBN 1 74110 147 6 | $29.95

Take a journey of discovery, region by region through EVERY Australian State and Territory, and see the countryside unfold as you read. Or better still, take this book with you as an invaluable guide when you travel.

Among the over 1500 entries you will find:

• Farmers who raise everything from quail to buffalos
• A micro-climate that allows tropical fruit to flourish in southern NSW
• Dozens of country restaurants that proudly use local produce
• The country’s fledgling super-gourmet industries of truffles and saffron
• Where to find everything from sourdough to spuds or smoked salmon

Discover, too, superb local cheeses, chillies and cherries, and where to dine on organic beef or the freshest seafood in Australia. Participate in bush food tours, or take part in festivals that celebrate the wealth of the local soil.

Join this culinary safari. The trip is long, but you’ll return enriched, and with renewed admiration and a better understanding of what this great country - and its equally great people - can do.

It will make you proud to be Australian. And almost certainly it will compel you to go and see for yourself!
